This blog used to be called EDL Extra. I was a supporter (neither a member nor a leader) of the EDL until 2012.

Although
it doesn't altogether matter now because Tommy Robinson (ex-EDL) has
been “imprisoned by the State” for eighteen months, Unite Against
Fascism (UAF) had still previously protested about the man being invited to a Holocaust Memorial Day E....
However, this Trotskyist (or at least Trotskyist-run) group didn't have
a word to say about the invitation to former IRA terrorist, Patrick
(Pat) Magee. This man is the notorious 'Brighton bomber'.
And no doubt he blew some women and children to smithereens before
Brighton; as well as kneecapped a few kids. (He joined the IRA in 1969;
so he must have done – either personally or by giving orders.)

You see, UAF-SWP, as ever, is
very, very choosy about the violence and bigotry it opposes. It is
virulently against raucous EDL demos and EDL “football hooligans”. On
the other hand, it supports (via Marxist theory) - or at least
justifies, rationalises and explains - Islamic terrorism and Islamism.
UAF even does the same when it comes to Muslim child grooming, female
genital mutilation, honour killings, Islamic misogyny, polygamy, etc.
(It's amazing how Marxist theory can make red seem blue or X come out as not-X.)

In fact, the SWP-UAF has
defended and supported Leftist regimes which murdered tens of millions
and imprisoned millions more. As I said, violence and oppression, when
done for a good (Leftists) cause, is completely OK to the average
Leftist. It's only when the wrong group is committing violence and
oppression, and for the wrong reasons, that violence and oppression are
wrong. In other words, the SWP-UAF doesn't think that violence and
oppression are wrong at all. This is a kind of Marxist relativism. Or,
at the very least, Marxisttheorysomehow makes certain acts of violence (even mass killings) and oppression (even the Gulag) right and justifiable.
